he got firsts in his motos but hit the gate in 1/8’s(had trouble with the gate timing) and went from last out of the gate to 4th in 1st turn to last again in turn 2(tried to pass again but got swooped) but fought hard back to 5th at the line.. he had the rhythm dialed nicely so that helped him alot with picking them off in the last straight..it was real deep and lippy not flowing at all from what all the other riders were saying…
the gate cadence was not normal there was a pause where there normally isnt one and i guess he just didnt jive with that….
